IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The Callfornla Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list
of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very
small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

OVEN TEMPERATURE
Your oven temperature Is electronically controlled. We
recommend that you use your oven for a number of
weeks to become fam!tlar with your new oven's
performance, following all Instructions In the OVEN
COOKING SECTION. Checkthe BEFORE CALLING
FOR SERVICE SECTION of this manual. Ifyou are still
not satisfied with oven performance, follow the
instructions on adjusting the oven temperature.
_ The low temperaturezoneoffftis ra.ge
(between 170 °and 200°F) is available
to keep hot cooked foods warm, Food
kept longer than two hours at these
temperatures may spoil.
OVEN COOKING
When cooking a food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it
replaced°
After you have used your oven for awhile, if you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
It yourselL See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
In this manual.
• Always follow recipe carefully.
• Measure Ingredients properly.
• Use proper pan placement.
• Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to I 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. Ira*
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
When baking several items, stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Listen for preheat notification tone
(If equipped) or watch for the Indicator light to go
OFF. If your range Is not equipped with either of
these, preheat for 15 mlnutes and put the food in the
oven,
• Opening the door too often to check food during
baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor
baking results.
• Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked in shiny pans -- to reflect the heat
because they should have a light golden crust,
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked in
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans--to absorb the heat
-- because they should have a brown, crisp crusL
• Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
. Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures ifexterior of pan
is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.
• There may be some odorwhen the oven isfirst used.
Thls is caused by the heating of new parts and
insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The toil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baklng
results. Do not place any foil dlrectty abovethe bake
element. Foll used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, tt
should not be used.
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
When reclpes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door Is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.

TO SET BROmL
1_ PRESS 2. PRESSFOR HI. PRESS FOR LOo
3_ Press CLEAR/OFF when broiling is complete.
Most foods can be broiled atthe HI Broil Setting. Select
the LO Broil setting to avoid excessive browning or
drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done
stage (such as thick pork chops or poultry).
BROiLiNG TiPS
o Your oven door should be open to the broil
stop position while broiling, if the door is
cnosed_ the food will roast and not broil.
. Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or f!re.
• Do not preheat when broiling• For even broll!ng
on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
• Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops°
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maximum julciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with sktn side down. It Is
not necessary to turn fish.
• Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.
• Be sure you know the correct procedure for
putting out a grease fire• See the section on
safety.
Do not cover the entire broiler
grid with foil. Poor drainage of
hot fat may cause a broiler fire,
if a fire _tarts_ close the oven
door and turn controls off, If fire
continues, throw baking soda
on the fire. Do not put water on
the fire,
POSiTIONiNG BROILER PAN
Broiling Is cooking by direct heat from the broil element,
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be se-
lected for broiling, For best results steaks and chops
should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on an
oven rack !n the proper position. The recommended
rack position and cooking time can be found In the chart
below.
The closer the food is to the broil element, the faster the
meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the
center. Moving the meat farther away from the element
lets the meat cook to the center while browning outside,

and apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack edges after the self-clean cycle. This
will make the racks easier to slide.

"DO-IT-YOURSELF" OVEN TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than
the oven it replaced. We recommend that you use your
new oven a tew weeks to become more familiar with it,
following the times given In your recipes as a guide.
Your oven has been preset to maximize cooking
efficiency. If you think your new oven Is too hot
(burning foods), or not hot enough (foods are under-
cooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself. The
appearance and texture of foods is a better Indicator of
oven accuracy than an inexpensive oven thermometer.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers_ such as those found in the grocery
store, to readjust the temperature setting of your
new oven= These thermometers can vary by 20°-40°F.
Also, you must open the oven door to read the
thermometer and this changes the temperature of the
oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F higher (If foods are under-
cooked) or 25°F lower (If foods are burning) than the
temperature In your recipe, then bake. The results of
this "test" should give you an Idea of how much the
temperature should be changed.
To adjust temperature follow these instructions:
Hml
1. Press the BAKE pad.
BAKE
2. Press the UP arrow pad to select a temperature
between 500°F and 550°F.
4. Use the UP or DOWN arrow pad to select the
temperature adjustment you want.
The temperature can be adjusted up to +35°F hotter
or -35°F cooler.
